Significance and Use4.1 The purpose of this practice is to aid in providing theend user with an appropriately functioning system with appro-
31、priate release torque setting(s).4.2 The definitions and tolerances defined in this practice donot necessarily apply to procedures incorporating an inspectioninterval or schedule, in which such procedures are specified bythe binding manufacturer. This practice is not intended to be amethod for evalu
32、ating equipment design.NOTE 2Refer to Practice F1064 for definitions and tolerances per-taining to the evaluation of equipment once in use.5. Procedure5.1 Inspections Two types of inspection procedures aredescribed in this practice: (1) procedures to check the systemfor appropriate function, and (2)
33、 procedures to check thesystem for appropriate release torque calibration (see AppendixX4). In all procedures requiring a measured release value, thesystem testing device should meet Specification F1061 and bechecked by the method described in Annex A1.5.1.1 Functional InspectionsThese inspections s
34、hall in-clude inspection of all boot-to-binding adjustments andclearances, appropriate elastic travel (see 6.1), symmetry oftorsional release, boot-binding compatibility (see 6.3), andF1063 09 (2014)2other inspections recommended by the equipment manufactur-ers (see Appendix X4).5.1.2 Release Torque
35、 Value InspectionsThe release torquevalue of the system, as assembled for use, shall be inspectedwith the use of a system testing device (see Annex A1). Adescription of release torque value inspections and tolerances isincluded in this practice (see Section 7 and Appendix X4).5.2 Reference Torque Va
36、lue SelectionReference torquevalues for release torque may be selected using Annex A2 ortables supplied by the binding manufacturer or system testingdevice manufacturer, which are in accordance with PracticeF939. Reference torque values above the upper limit specifiedby Practice F939 or above the bi
37、nding manufacturers recom-mendations should not be used. Values below the lower limit orbelow the binding manufacturers recommendations may beused unless the binding manufacturer recommends againstsuch procedures.6. Functional Inspections6.1 Test for Elastic Travel and RecenteringThe systemshould be
38、 exercised to ensure the boot or plate can travel adistance specified by the manufacturer and return freely towithin 2 mm of the original position. This test should be madein all directions of release and in a manner specified by thebinding manufacturer. If no displacement is specified, thendisplace
39、ment of 5 mm measured at the toe or heel (asappropriate) should be used and the test should be performedby any device or method capable of displacing the boot or platethe necessary distance.6.2 Test for Symmetrical ReleaseThe system should betested for twist release in both the clockwise and counter
40、clock-wise directions with a device of the type specified in AnnexA1.6.3 Test of Boot/Binding CompatibilityUsed as a diagnos-tic inspection for determining the compatibility of a boot andbinding used in a system. The boot should be of a shape,composition, construction, and condition acceptable to th
41、ebinding manufacturer. Functional inspections specified by thebinding manufacturer to determine the compatibility of theboot and binding should be performed. If no functionalinspection procedures are specified by the bindingmanufacturer, a functional inspection should be performed todetermine the di
42、fference in test results between a clean, dryboot/binding system and the same system after lubrication ofall boot/binding interfaces. This functional inspection shouldbe made in all directions of release specified by the bindingmanufacturer, using a device of the type specified in Annex A1(see 5.1).
43、6.3.1 The lubricant used for this test should be applied in athin film and may be of any type specified by the boot orbinding manufacturer. If unspecified, a liquid detergent or soapor a lubricant of a type normally accepted in the maintenanceof the binding, such as a grease or silicone spray lubric
44、ant, maybe used. If a spray lubricant is used, ensure that overspray doesnot contaminate other systems.6.3.2 If there is reason to believe a boot/binding interface orsystem has been contaminated, a common dishwashing soap ordetergent solution may be used to help clean the system,provided all surface
45、s are flushed with clean water afterwards.7. Release Torque Inspections7.1 Tests for Twist ReleaseA test should be performed todetermine the torque required to release the binding in twist(Mz) about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the boot sole.This test should be performed using a device of t
46、he typedescribed in Annex A1 and should be performed in bothclockwise and counterclockwise directions of release. Testresults should be within the appropriate inspection tolerance.Units that exceed the inspection tolerance should be readjustedto test within the inspection tolerance. When an initial
47、visualindicator setting is used (see Appendix X4), readjustmentshould not be attempted if test result(s) exceed the limit forreadjustment without first taking corrective action as specifiedby the binding manufacturer.7.2 Tests of Forward Lean ReleaseA test should be madeto determine the torque requi
48、red to release the binding inforward lean. This test should be made using a device of thetype described in Annex A1. Test result(s) should be within theinspection tolerance. Units that exceed the inspection toleranceshould be readjusted to within the inspection tolerance. Whenan initial indicator se
49、tting is used (see 3.1.6 and Appendix X4),readjustment should not be attempted if test result(s) exceedthe limit for readjustment without first taking corrective actionas specified by the binding manufacturer (see 3.1.1 and 3.1.7).7.2.1 If no independent means are provided to adjust theforward lean release, this test should be used to ensure the ratioof forward lean to twist release is as specified by the manu-facturer.7.3 Other Release TestsTests of the type in 7.1 and 7.2should be made in any other direction specified by the bindi
